About Our Legacy
60+ Years of Trusted Craftsmanship on the North Shore

For over 60 years, Donald R. Ross & Son Painting has been the name homeowners trust when quality matters most. What began as Don Ross’s one-man operation has grown into a multi-generational legacy—rooted in old-school craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and an unwavering commitment to doing the job right.
​
We specialize in high-end residential painting and decorating—from interiors and exteriors to wallpaper, murals, and fine finishes—serving the most discerning clients across the North Shore and Greater Boston. Our work doesn’t cut corners. It refines them.
​
What sets us apart isn’t just experience—it’s pride. Every stroke, every surface, every project is treated with the kind of care that only comes from generations of hands-on expertise. In fact, Don had a tradition: before every wallpaper installation, he’d sign the wall with the date and a note about the price of gas or hamburgers—marking a moment in history. That tradition of leaving something better than we found it still guides everything we do today.
​
You don’t just get a paint job. You get a legacy of excellence, built to last.
